Manager Don Mattingly indicated Tuesday the Dodgers envisioned Barney, a 2012 Gold Glove winner at second base, being able to play third and short. Guess he’ll master his new utility role at Albuquerque.

That, of course, is also where utility man Chone Figgins is 18 games into his rehab for a strained quadriceps. Can never have too many veteran infielders in waiting.

Martinez, 20, was 7-5 with a 3.47 ERA in 19 starts for Great Lakes, the Dodgers’ lower level Class A team. It’s his fourth season with the Dodgers after signing as a free agent out of Venezuela, so it’s not like they surrendered some major prospect.

The playoff picture became clearer in the East on Monday when the Tampa Bay Lightning clinched a postseason berth, but it grew more muddled in the West when the Kings lost to the Chicago Blackhawks and Calgary and Vancouver won their respective games.
